Your legal wedding in Portland requires a valid Oregon Marriage License. In years of experience as a busy Portland wedding officiant, 2% of the time the county official forgets to sign box 28 on your license. This is the authorizing signature from the state of Oregon, which gives me authority to legally marry you, so I suggest you check box 28 before you leave the marriage license office at the county.
Here’s the general process for purchasing your marriage license in Oregon, and every county has slightly different requirements for your marriage license, so check with them first.
- You obtain your application from ANY one of the 36 counties in Oregon, to be married anywhere in Oregon.
- You fill out the application, sign it and return it to the same county office where you got your application and purchase your license for about $60.
- The original legal copy of your marriage license is the long form you filled out and signed and you will give that to your wedding officiant before your wedding ceremony.
- You will keep the decorative ceremonial Oregon marriage certificate, which is the one with the state seal, which you and your witnesses, along with your wedding minister or officiant, will have signed after your ceremony.
- Your Oregon wedding officiant is required to return the completed legal marriage license to the county where you purchased it.
- About two weeks after your wedding you go back to the county where you started, and you purchase a Certified Copy of your marriage license which has been recorded in the county and state records.
- After all of that, you begin your name change process with your Certified Copy of your Oregon marriage license.
